To all w71 om d may oon-Cervi Be it known that I., stimulent H'Uoirm,

subjectof the 'King ott Great' lriteiin'a-nd e resident of the town ot bieaortb, in tlie county oi Huron, in tbe P ovince of @n torio, Canada, bave inver i certain new and useful improvements .ioy Windmills. oi which the following' is .ne specification.

My invention relates to improvements in the inve-m ne wbicbjwili ITM gb,

tion is to devise e. toy of tins n be ornamental and serve source oit traction and amusement :at Avery' young child, and it consists essent ily of tile errengcment and construction oi 'parte herein after described. in the following spe-sitios.- tion.

Fig'. 1 is a y Windmill.

im Fig. 2 is a sectional detail showing tbe journal support for the windmili tan menr bers.

li`ig. 3 isa tace elevation of the ports shown in Figure 3.

l'n the drawings like che actors ont reiiern ence indicate corresponding parts in each ligure.

l und 2 indicate zi pair or bnr members .eet nt right :ingles one to tbc otber or cruciiorin.

3% is a body portion by which tire rodmeinbers l :ind 2 are connected. together at their point oi intcrsectirm, the rod members passnrer through said body member and suitably .secured tlicrcin. if desired, tbe opposite arms oi the members 1 and 2 may be 'formed separately and screwed into the body 3 s0 that they for the purpose of packing. The rod membor l is provided at its upper end .rith a loop @L by which it may be lmnp; a cord or other suitable means to any form of supn port. I 5, G, 'i' and 8 are ornamental Weights secured to the ends of the rod members 1 and z2. to give the device Weight so as to keep it in a stable suspended position. 1f desired, tbc lower Weight- 7 may be removed 'and tbe loiverportion of tbe bar member 1 used es a ystmodird bv which my Windmill may bey selli perspective 'View of my toy may be detached from the body' cured by means of any other fixture.

9, 10, 1l and 12 are enlargements formed upon the rod members l. and 2 intermedintely between the central body portion 3 and each weiglit, 6, 7 and 8, or connected to the rod ends by such ends being,r screwed tlicrein'to.

13 and 14 are stud pins 'which may be integral with the. bosses 9, 1G, 11 and 12, ex- A tending outwardly horizontally from cach side of each boss, or may beseparete therefrontend screwed 'i lstaples to a tence post or into orifices therein.

Upon each stud member 13 is freely mounted e windmillfmember comprising a central body portion 15 mountedfreely to revolve upon the mud pin 13 and from which extends e plurality oi arms '16 carrying' blades 17 set alternately at an angle one to the. other so as to receive the wind pressure and cause each of the windmill members to revoive upon its respective stud pin 13. Simi'- ler Windmill members 18 having central body portions are mounted upon the stud pins 14 at thc'opposite side of each boss 9, 10, 11 and 12, the blades being so setthat the Windmill members having the bodies 15 end 18 revolve in opposite directions.

i The fan bodies 15 are secured on the stud pins 13 by split pins 19 or by other suitable means.

2O is a tail member. 2.0 c is a balancing speer. The tail member 2d is provided with a divided arm 21, and tbe balancing spear is provided with i1, divided erm 21".

The members of tbe divided orme and 21X extend at each side oftie central body 3 and are provided with book portions 22 which book over the horizontal rod member 2 from opposite sides. The extremities of the hooks 22 are reversely turned, as indi cated 23 and 23 sol as to engage ont- Wardly extending pins 24C carried by the bodyV By this means the vane or tail member and the balancing spear are detachable for tbe purpose of storage orshippin. The` balancing spear 20N serves to balance the Weight of the tail member 2O By this 'means a swinging connection is formed between the tail member 20 and the spear and the frame so to permit such teil and spear nnnnberbei swung up ad jacent to the mein portion oi the device for pose.

ylength of each arm, stud the purpose of storing or shipping in compact form. 25 are stay wires connecting the rod members 1 and 2 together adjacent to each body 9, 10, 11 and 12. i

The weights 5, 6, 7 and 8 may be secured to the ends of the rods 1`and 2 or may be connected to the enlargements 9, 10, 11 and 12 in a similar'manner to the Weight 20".

lWhen in use my device is suspended from the ceiling or from any suitable support, and the wind serves to rotate each ofthe Windmill members independently round their ystud pins, and the blades of the windmill may be variously coloured, so that as the windmills revolve they produce interweaving patterns which are very attractive to a child who is just beginning to observe sur-f rounding objects. A current of air may rbe provided by means of anl electric far; or by any other means which will serve thispur- What I claim as my invention is 4 1. A toy windmill cjomp-rising `acentral body portion, arms radiating from such body portion, a loop formed on the upper end of a vertical extending arm to which suspension means are adapted to be attached, body' members secured intermediately of the ins extending .from leach sidevof said bo y members, a

body rotatably mounted at each stud member, windmill arms radiating from .the rotatably mounted member, and blades alternately reversely'set upon each arm.

2. A toy Windmill comprising a central body member, a vertical arm secured cenymounted up trally in such body member, a horizontal arm also secured centrally in such body member, a Windmill member rotatably mounted upon each arm and at each side thereof and at each side or" the central body member, and intermediately between. such body member and the end of the arm.

3. A toy windmill comprising central body member, a vertical arm lsecured. centrally in such body member, a horizontal arm also secured centrally in such body member, a A'vt'indmill member rotatably mounted upon each arm and at each side thereof 'anid et yeach side of the central bony member, and intcrmediately,between suoli body member and the end of the arm, and a tail member swung upon the horizontal arm at each side oi" the central body member.
